This course lives up to its name, hills.

Very challenging greens but fair. Definitely not a walking course. Many elevation changes and long walks from greens to the next tee.

Good public course at a good value.

Many things to like about this course. The best way for this course to improve would be to get rid of the bunch grass and improve the bunkers.

Best golf value on the Central Coast

Well maintained with immaculately conditioned greens that run true. Enough trees to make it interesting but not over done. Would like to see more real sand in the bunkers.

Greens and tees OK, fairways suffer from the California Central Coast draught conditions

Greens are slow but consistent and run true. Greens are in decent condition. Tees are good. Fairways are suffering due to the California Central Coast draught conditions. It is highly likely to get an unfair lie in the middle of the fairway down in a hole. In competitive conditions this could be devastating. Unless you get a special price, which are available, the course is over priced for it's conditions. The course layout is unique and challenging and tests all areas of your game.

Thanks for taking the time to review us, Puddinpal! We understand your concerns about the fairways, and we wish the drought conditions weren’t affecting us so harshly. We appreciate your patience with us as we try to fight this issue. It’s great to hear that you found our course to be both challenging and memorable – that’s just the kind of effect we’re trying to achieve. Thanks again for your review, and we hope to see you again soon!

Very well maintained short course

Overall it was a good experience. The turf was in very good condition so it never negatively effected your game. Compared to my home area the value was not there, however, it was OK for the Phoenix Arizona area. The course was a bit short coming home on the back nine for my taste. Unless you are a bomber off the tee you should try it.

Greens and tees are great. Fairways & rough suspect.

Tees were good and greens rolled true and fast. Fairways have been allowed to go dry due to the draught. Rough was unpredictable with some really tough conditions and lies possible. Overall it was a good test of ones game. I want to play this course again in the summer when conditions should be better.

Interesting layout with no two holes the same. Tests your whole game.

They were maintaining the fairways while I was playing. The maintenance crew did a great job of not interfering with the golfers. The greens were challenging but fair. The elevation changes added to the interest of the course. I would not recommend walking this course due to the elevation changes. Overall an enjoyable experience, I will be back when playing golf in the Thousand Oaks area again. The golf carts have GPS units that appear to be fairly accurate, however, I found the user interface to be a bit quirky. It caused me to pay too much unwanted attention to the GPS and it's operation rather than my golf game. However, the distances corresponded with my personal GPS unit very accurately.

Front nine OK, back nine is a short joke.

The front nine is a well maintained fair test of golf for the average golfer. The back nine very quickly turns into a short almost par three very easy joke of a golf course that doesn't test anyone's game. The back nine definitely needs some work to make this an enjoyable experience.
